Short, the innovations seldom reaching 0.5 cm. Leaves 

 crowded a.t the tips, erecto-patemt, oblong-spa.thulate, 1.5 

 mm. ; margin with a distinct border of 2-3 series of linear 

 indurated cells, coarsely serrate above, slightly revolute be- 

 low ; nerve excurrent in a rather long, slender, cuspidate 

 point; cells irregular, more rectangular than rhomboid, 

 thin walled, 60-80 x 12-20^. Seta 3 cm.; capsule clavate 

 with a slender tapering neck, mouth not constricted, 3 mm. ; 

 lid pyramidal with a sharp umbo. 



Near B. rufescens but smaller in all parts.

Rather large, the innovations slender, often attaining 

 3 cm. Leaves dispersed along the shoot but larger towards 

 the apex, ovate-oblong, acuminate, 2-3 mm. ; margin with 

 a narrow thickened border of linear cells, revolut© below, 

 a few serrulatioms at the apex, otherwise plain ; nerve bold, 

 veiy shortl}'^ excurrent; cells rhomboid, averaging 40 x 14m, 

 Seta long, capsule clavate-pyriform, 4 mm., neck tapering, 

 mouth little constricted ; lid hemispheric, umbonate. 



Very common in woods.
